Klowning53" x 53"

I have my July UFO Challenge complete. I hadn't originally planned to use the outer border fabric as I did. I purchased this way out fabric with the crazy zigzag running all through it in all the colors of the center blocks. I thought I might cut it the length of the fabric to present all the colors on every side. Then I stumbled on the look of it if I'd cut it on the width of the fabric instead. Having the purple nearest the purple corner squares in the sashing really looks striking in my opinion. The slight touch of yellow in the outside also adds a little punch. I did loose most of the pink using the zigzag as I did. Thought I'd use the black multi dot for a binding, but now I'm leaning towards more yellow. Auditions will come after it's quilted. This pattern is called Little Monkey by Bonnie Hunter and can be found FREE on her website.

Born and raised on the East Coast and settled in 1985 in the paradise called San Diego, California. I've a passion for scrappy, traditional pieced or paper pieced quilting. I enjoy the challenge of using my stash. I have strong thoughts of applique and hand quilting when I don't have to keep my day job. Quilting and sewing have been passed down in my family for at least four generations. I'm lucky to share this passion with my Mom.
